What is this food?
Lean pork Boston butt that’s been fried (about 100 g). It’s mainly a protein food, with little to no carbs or fiber.
Why it matters to health
This pork provides protein to help build and maintain muscles and keep you full after meals. It also has fat (about 6 g per 100 g), which is okay for energy, but frying can add more fat depending on how much oil is used. It’s also relatively low in sodium per 100 g (about 63 mg), but sodium can increase if the dish is seasoned heavily or served with salty sauces. Since it has no fiber, pairing it with vegetables and whole grains helps balance your plate.
Healthier tips
- Keep your portion to about 1 palm-sized serving per meal, then add more vegetables.
- Choose light frying or use less oil (e.g., shallow-fry or pan-fry with minimal oil).
- Pair with non-starchy veggies (like kangkong, pechay, ampalaya) and a fiber source (brown rice, kamote, or whole grain bread).
- If you’re having this as a main viand, balance the meal with carbs + veggies rather than adding extra fatty sides.
- For snacks, consider fruit or yogurt instead of more fried foods.
